POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. Death of Mr, Robson, the Comedian. With a regret, which we are sure will be shared in by most of our readers, we have to annlunce the death of Mr. Rohm), the popular comedian, and joint lessee of the Olympic Theatre. For some considerable time Mr. Robson had been in a de• clining state of health, but latterly he had appa rently so much improved that his re-appearance on the stage was confidently expected at no very dis tant date. Death, however, has put as end to Chase anticipations, as at twelve o'clock last night he expired at his residence, 19, Anopthill-square, near Mornington - crescent. Mr. Robson's success as an actor commenced from the period of his quitting the Grecian Saloon to fulfil an engagement in Ireland, at the termination of which he was engaged, in 1853, by the late Mr. Williem Farren, then lessee of the Olympic Theatre. Th? character w hi c h first stamped Mr. Robson at an actor of no ordinary ability was his embodiment of the principal part in the burlesque of Macbeth. Such was the impression made by hie peculiar abilities that for meths crowds were nightly attracted to the Olympic Theatre, but the popularity he had already achieved was greatly extended by the force and in tensity he threw into the next burlesque attempted—viz., Shylock. At the termination of Mr. Farren , s management Mr. Alfred Wigan became lessee of the theatre, and Mr. Robson was at once engaged by the new lessee. From that period he achieved a series of successes which placed him at the head of burlesque actors, whilst his peculiarly humorous powers also made him a very eminent low comedian. Who can forget his Jem Baggs, the Wandering Minstrel, or his Jacob Earwig, or, in the more intense drama, his Daddy Hardacre? In August, 1857, Mr. Robson, in conjunction with Mr. Emden, became lessees of the Olympic, and for a considerable period his great talents wero- found quite sufficient to draw crowded audiences despite the attractions held out at the other metropolitan theatres. But his abilities were overwrought, and in obedience to his medical adviser, Mr. Robson, temporarily retired from the stage in order that he might recover that strength which his great exer tions hadlexhausted. So far had he recovered, that, in consequence of the great success of the play of The Ticket of Leave" that he took a provincial tour, and appeared in some of our principal towns in many of those parts which had so greatly delighted the London playgoers. Some short time ago he returned to London, and it was thought much improved in health, but really it was not so; his painful malady again attacked him, and last night, as we have before mentioned, he expired. Mr. Robson was a genial, kind hearted gentleman, and ever foremost in lending his aid to benefit his less fortunate fellow artists. The Holy Alliance, The Invalide Busse publishes the following article :—" During the sitting of the 22d of July, when Lord Stratford de Radcliffe directed the atten tion of the House of Lords to the rumours concern• ing the restoration of the Holy Alliance, and de nounced it as dangerous for the liberties of Europe, Earl Russell very judiciously replied that present circumstances rendered the renewal of such an Alli ance very doubtful_ In this case we perfectly agree with the Secretary of the Foreign-office. We have never ceased to repeat that, although the ques tions which occupy Europe hay . e been de bated at the meetings of the Sovereigns, yet that no treaty had been concluded; and we added that a treaty which would engage our liberty of action would only be a misfortune for Russia, who has two much to do at home to be able to interfere in the complications which might arise abroad. Events have justified us, and Lord Russell has confirmed, if not our esplanations, at least our conclusions. But why did his lordship add that Ce, Russia, in Prussia, and in Austria it was generally admitted that these Powers constantly express the wish that the Sovereigns of Europe should unite to resist democratic movements This unfortunate phrase denotes that the noble lord has but an imper fect knowledge of the state of things in Russia, and once more proves the influence of prejudice even on a great mind. We will profit by the occasion to express oar opinion on a subject which is generally very ill understood abroad. In Russia the words aristocracy and democracy cannot have the same meaning as in the other parts of Europe ; our history, our Govern ment, our institutions,establish between us and other nations very great differences. If we were to give a State occupied with the welfare of the masses the denomination of democrats we can boldly affirm that the Russian nation is democratic. As the Govern ment is more demccratic than the people, as we have neither political nor dynastic parties, it follows from that, although we are democratic, we are in no wise revolutionary. History does not present to us an ex ample of a more complete harmony existing between a Sovereign and his nation, and our Government knows it so well that, instead of guarding itself against revolution, instead of uniting in a league with other sovereigns against an evil it has not to fear at home, it anticipates public opinion and grants greater Liberties than those demanded by the masses. We see very well all that our Government has done for our welfare. The abuses disappear one by one; the forces which until now remained without use have been called into activity ; justice has taken a more regular course, and authority itself represses all arbitrary tendencies on the part of its servants. The attitude of the population during the late Polish insurrec tion has, besides, sufficiently proved the harmony existing between the Sovereign and his people. Let Lord Russell, therefore, explain to us the rea son why he thinks the Emperor of Russia could be induced to join the other Sovereigns in resisting the encroachments of democracy." BOW-STREET. Richard Murphy was placed at the bar, on remand, charged with stealing a large quantity of leather and materials used in the manufacture of boots and shoes, the property of Mr Slack, bootmaker, 187, Drury-lane, for whom he was employed. From the statement of the prosecutor it appeared that he had sustained great loss in his trade by the myste rious disappearance of working materials, and he had taken steps to watch the movements of some of his workpeople, in the hope of discovering the source of the mischief. On the 27th of May he bad given to the prisoner (one of his journeymen) a quantity of mate rials to make up six pairs of ankle boots, caking the usual precaution of stamping them with his name, The boots should have been completed and returned within a few days, but ho never received the work. He (prosecutor) had frequently spoken to Murphy about the boots, and at length he said he had sold the materials to a stranger in the street for 15s, about half their value. 'I he prisoner was then given into custody. A man named Donaghue stated that he was with the prisoner in the month of May, and accom panied him to the shop of a Mr Miller, in Brick-lane, Spitalfields, where the prisoner sold the upper and soles of one of the pair of boots for 2s. Gd. The prisoner said he had more of the sort, and Miller said he must take the stamp name out of the leather before he could buy any more. The case was remanded, and a summons issued against Miller, who was this morning placed in the dock on suspicion of being the receiver. The witness Donoughue was now absent, and Mr Beard (who attended for Miller) elicited the startling fact that the prosecutor, since the last examination, had received Xl, and a promise of ss. from Mr Murphy's friends in payment for the missing goods, which Mr Vaughan declared to be very discreditable, as courts of justice could not be used as a means of exacting compensation for stolen property, and thus compromising felony. Mr Beard said his client was a most respectable man, and hoped he would not be detained on the false statements of Donoghue. The charge of felony had entirely disap peared in consequence of what the prosecutor had admitted. Mr Vaughan said the admission of the prosecution only affected the charge as against Murphy, but it did not touch that part of the matter which affected Miller. Ile was of e.pinion that it was absolutely necessary that the man Donoghu3 should be present, because it was of the greatest importance that Miller should have an opportunity of showing that the charge against him was false and mali• cious. In the event of Donoghue's refusing to attend, he should compel him to do so by summons. The prisoner Murphy was then remanded for a week, and the summons against Miller was adjourned for the same period. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SENDING THREATENING LETTERS TO LORD CURZON. —John Hill was charged with sending threatening letters to George Augustus Frederick Lord Curzon, of No. 8, South Audlcy-street. Lord Curzon said he received a letter (produced) at his residence in South Andley-street. Sergeant Henry Beard, of the Detective Department, Scotland-yard, said he received the letter spoken of by Lord Curzon, and apprehended the prisoner that morning on a warrant on his leaving Coldbath-fields Prison. On telling him the charge was that of sending a threatening letter to Lord Curzon to the effect that he would kill him, he re• plied " I did," and said, " I have also sent one to Lord Howe, and I intend carrying out what I have said." He then showed the prisoner the letter, and asked him if he had seen it before, and he said he had. The letters were read by Lord Curzon's solicitor, and contained most serious threats against Lord Curzon, and Lord Howe, and their lordship's agent—one threat being that he would blow out his lordship's brains. Prisoner said he declined to ask any questions. Lord Curzon said he was apprehensive the prisoner would injure him, and he felt bound to take notice of the matter. _ The prisoner made a long statement as to his and his father's tenancy of some land belonging to Lord Howe. Mr Knox said he could not let the prisoner go at large till his mind had been inquired into. He should remand the prisoner for 7 days, and he would put an indorsement on the sheet to that effect. . The prisoner was committed to the House •f Correction For breaking Lord Howe's windows about a month ago. THAMES. THE BASTARDY LAIVS.—A HARD CASE,-011 Mr Par tridge taking his seat this morning, police-sergeant Baker, of the K division, entered the witness-bvx and returned a commitment made out by Mr Paget yesterday evening. Mr William Livingston, the chief usher, said that Mr Paget passed a sentence of' 14 days' imprisonment and hard labour on a man named George Logan for non-compliance with a bastardy order. The arrears duo to the mother of the illegitimate child amounted to 15s, or six weeks' pay at the rate of 2s 6d per week, and the costs were 4s. The Go vernor of the House of Correction refused to receive the prisoner, and Baker discharged him. The sergeant, out of respect to the Court now returned the commitment. Mr Partridge—ls the question about receiving prisoners for non-compliance with bastardy orders in the House of Correction and Whitscross-street not settled yet. Mr Livingston—lt is not, Sir. A rule nisi was obtained some months since in the Ccurt of Queen's Bench, and it has not been made absolute. Mr Partridge—l recollect. The rule has never been argued, and there will be no settlement ol the question until next term, and perhaps not then. I cannot do any thing in the matter. Mr Livingston said the refusal of the governors of the prisons in Middlesex to receive prisoners on commitments for non-compliance with bastardy orders was a great hard ship on young women who had given birth to illegitimate children. Fellows were very well acquainted with the state of things, and would not pay for the maintenance of their illegitimate children. Mr Partridge—lt is a great pity. Such a state of things ought not to have existed so long. Two young women applied for warrants against the fathers cf their illegitimate children, and were informed that it would be useless to grant them, and would be only taking money out of their pockets to no purpose to issue process, MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. Fresh up to our market to• day the arrival of old home grown wheat was very moderate. The trade, however, was dull, at Monday's decline in the quotations. New wheat was quoted as follows :—Red, 423 to 445; white, 46s to 48s; and Talavera, 48s to 50s per quarter. The market was fairly supplied with foreign wheat. Tho amount of business transacted was very moderate, yet prices ruled stationary. Floating cargoes of wheat were in slow request, at late rates. Spring corn afloat was firm in price. A fair cupply of barley was on sale for the time of year. On the whole the trade ruled steady, at full prices. Malt was in fair average request, and the quotations ruled firm. The supply of oats was very large. The trade was active for all descriptions, and prices had in some 4istances a drooping tendency. Beans and peas were in short supply. The trade for them ruled firm, at quite previous rates. In flour a moderate business was transacted, at late quo tations. ARRIVALS THIS WISK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

PEOPLE'S NAMES. — There are above a quarter of a million of persons in England an d Wales bearing th e cosmopolitan surname of S m i th, and a b ove 45 , 000 per sons in Scotland. If you meet 73 persons' in England, or ones in Engl an d and wales, M ac d onald in Scotland even 68 in Scotland, you may exp ect to fi n d a Smith among Tra j The every 78 pers ons i n Scotland i s a M acdonald. them. Next to Smith there comes in each country a purely most common na mes in Englan d : —Wi lliams, and Brown; a localy high upon the list—Robertson, St e wart, There is a much greater clan pre dominance of surnam es i n Scot l an d th an i n Eng land. There are in both co untries many surnames de rived from occu p ation, loc ality, or personal qualities; Campbell, also stand while in Engl and in the thi rty most common surnames only 27, in Scotland 37 —th e great majority — are real patronymics and truly sirnarnee, either in their pure un altered state, as Grant, Cameron, & e ,, or altered so as to express the descent, as in Robertson and Morrison, or with tb.e Gaelic Mac. A recent examination of the birth-register of Scotland for a year showed 1 04,018 births and only 6,823 separate surnames; so that there are more than 15 persons, upon an average, to a surname, or only 6.5 surnames to 100 person?. In England,a similar e xamination by the Registrar- General showed only 8 4 persons to a surname, or 12 sur names to 100 persons. The proportion of persons attached to each surname would have been. still barker in Scotland, and more than double that of England, but for ! . 'eta immense immigration from Ireland in the last quarter of a ceetury. In the Scottish r e g ister the 50 most common. sunatiales embrace nearly 30 per cent, of all the names on fee register; in England only about 18 per cent, Of the 50 most common surnamos in Scotland, 32 either entirely or hey occu r .i te in the form in. which t Scotland may be reckoned as having originated in that cowry and as being peculiar to it--a very large proportion, considering all circumstances. The remainder are common also to Eng land. The sobriquets perpetuated as surnames from a sup posed likeness to the animal cre ation of course vary in England and Scotlan d with the language K )f each country. English Fox is superseded in Scotland ey Tod, a very common name, having the same raeaninc. Bullock be comes Stott, and Crow Craw. Hogg i n Scotland is not to be traced to a pig, but a lamb a year old. 3lr Stork, of the Scottish register office, from whose six ; ta annual report (just issued) these statements are taken, aas also had the curiosity to note the Christian names oetu rr i ng u p on th e registers. In 3, 690 e ntries of births of boy ; there were only 67 different Christian names' but a mong a like numbar of girls there were 86 . John and James 2 , Tertly preponderate am ong the boys. Among the girls Margartt is tho favourite name, but Mary is very close to it. In the Highland clans Mary decidedly preponderate,s, but Margiret in all other parts of Scotland. Several names not necommon among girls in England did not occur so many is three times in the entire Scotch list of 3,6S9—Beatrice Clara, Emma, Julia, Lucy ; and among the 3 , 690 boys there w er e not three with either of several of our common English names —Alfred, Arthur Benjamin, Frederick, Paillip, Stephen. The girls' list shows m any variations from w h at we shcu le find in England; there are twice as maly Elspeths at. Emilys, twice as many Marjorys as Louis,s, fur times ac h ern ias as Ilarriets, five thnea es many Grace:. many Eup as Carolinas. By advices from Hamburg the price ?t bolt is 425 per mark and the short exchany on London is 13.51 per £1 stcrlin , tandard bold at the Engl ish Mint p rice is, lierefore, about 3-10ths per cent, dearer in London than in liamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London and th* premium on gold are quoted with such large differences than no ca Cu aliens can be based on them ; but told continues to be shipped to England. The quotation of gold at Paris is about 21 per mile pm., au c the short exchange on London is 25.271 per.£l sterling. 01 comparing these rates with the English Mint price of :-* 17s. lOad. per min., ^trfor standard gold, it appears that gold ii nearly 2-10 the per cent. dearer in Paris that in London.

News. A COURT BALL AT THE TUILERIES,—The leries look very imposing at a distance on the night of a Court ball. The whole enormous fagade is lit up from top to bottom, and on the Place du Carousel there is such a throng of carriages that it is difficult to comprehend how the equipages will be able to set down. For all that, the moat admirable order prevails, and is most visible at the period of the guests departing. Tho inner court of the Tuileries, la tour d' honneur, is truly very splendid. In the place of the as lamps, you see everywhere the imperial N. or the imperial crown in a laurel wreath, blazing with light, and as this illin2Laation is repeated on all sides at least 200 times, it is easy to form an idea of the splendour and bright ness of the courtyard, which is so largo that 10,000 men can mancravre in it conveniently. The piincipal staircase in side the chateau also produces a grand impression. From top to bottom on every step there stand alternatelyltwelve• armed candelabrum and a Cent Garde, en grande tenue ; there is a dark red carpet on the white marble steps, and high above it a gigantic chandelier, gleaming like a sun . The sight is really marvellous. The reception takes place in the Salle des Marechaux, and the ball in the Gallorie de Diane. A portion of the Emperor's private apart ments is also used on the occasion of the court balls, and supper is served in the Pavilion de Menem. At the latter only 500 guests, chiefly ladies, sit down with their Majesties, the remainder are spread over various large rooms, where buffets are erected, which, of course, leave nothing to be desired. Supper is served at tables hold ing four, eight, or twelve persons, and as about 400 foot • men are employed in the palace on such occasions, the at tendance is befitting the exalted company. As a rule, the Emperor opens the ball with a lady, usually the wife o f an ambassador. The empress has not danced since the death of her sister, the Duchess of Alba ; still she goes to the ball room, where a special dais is erected for her. Here she re mains, surrounded by her ladies, and this is the moment when the Grand Chambellan presents to her distinguished foreigners. The toilettes to be seen on the dais at such a moment are truly the ne plus ultra of elegance and wealth. [t is impossible to say how many millions' worth of jewels end precious stones are collected at this small spot. The costume of the empress, though not always the costliest Frau von Rothschild, for instance, sometimes wears a spencer completely covered with brilliants), is the most tasteful. Nothing more beautiful could be imagined, and a cry of admiration bursts from a thousand lips. The empress never remains long, but retires very quietly before midnight. The illumination then disappears from the south side of the palace, but the ball goes on uninterruptedly till nearly daybreak. The emperor usually remains longer. But the longer the ball lasts the more guests find their way to ; ye Pavillion de Marsen, where the playrooms aro, and where many an old general goes on punting till six in he morning. The direct expenses of such a court ball, of vhich four are given annually, are said to figure in the civil list at 140,000 f. ; but the indirect expenses of the guests in ited, and specially the ladies, may easily exceed ten times hat amount. Hence the Imperial Court balls are most wel come to the milliners, Bilk mercers, and jewellen. —Bent :et/ s Miscellany, don How to Restore to Life ih. Accidents. have The "sensation" novelists, it is to b 3 regretfe% now got hold of tne fact, to add to their armotz% horrors. The present case is important, as the only one of a like kind perhaps restored to life in the London hospitals under such conditions; the patient was a poor married woman, otherwise in fair health, admitted to hospital, who was placed on the operating-table for a plastic operation (one of these, thanks to anse3thetics, so successfully per formed of late). The operation, which need not be de. scribed, was nearly completed ; there was very considerable Lasmorrhage during its performance, but having watched the pulse all through the operation, one was alarmed at s stopping and then going on again. I soon found, though I did not give the chloroform, that respiration had also suddenly stopped, with a 1 the well-known signs of apnea, or what others would term it asphyxia, stoppage of breath jag, not at all embarrassed respiration, as stated in surgi cal books. The woman was exactly in that state of sus pended animation (all but dead), so difficult to describe in words without saying she was entirely deed. Loo•'- • 1 ;;_sly set in. She appeared suddenly to be and white, her face like marble or that of a corpse. The striking fact in the case was perhaps this—the woman lay as it were thus dead for some minutes, just as animals do when poisoned by chloroform. No pulse, no respiration of the remotest kind ; experiment and theory suggest, if we can, in this emergency and alarm establish respiration, the remora or "stand still" of the circulation (as Mr Paget terms it) will yield, and pulse return. The Marshall Hall and Silvester methods were persistently tried in the case, still no pulse, no breathing, no animation. Everyone was dreadfully alarmed ; the magneto-electric battery was sent for by me and arranged or used as just directed. The al• most instant effect, as if by magic, was what we wanted—a deep sighing drawing in of the breath I a little confusion, pardonable, but half comic, arose in the application of the battery at first, as I found I myself had become unex pectedly a kind of galvanometer, receiving all the shocks till a German physician standing by happily caught the metal , lie handles with his coat tails (as non-conductors). Off and on alternately the handles were now applied about a dozen times a minute, so as to imitate the ordinary action of the diaphragm. At each application there was a deep moaning respiration. Some quarter of an hour now had the patient thus re mained, pulse less cold, without breathing, the little tide of life ebbing fast away; indeed she was pronounced irreco verably dead; it was one of those curious and instructive scenes worth any of the impossible chloroform novel sen sation scenes that one now reads in magazines ; the last farewell beam of feeling possibly past away—life quite ex tinguished—the last hour of nothingness already had lite rally set it. The last danger of distress, With langour of the placid cheek, And that sad shrouded eye, Where cold obstruction's apathy—. (the engorging right auricle, &c.), appalled one gazing mourner at least, but still the electric poles were applied, about 12 times each minute, so as remotely to imitate the stimulus of ordinary nerve action in the diaphragm. I thought at the moment of the popular idea amongst bril liant operating surgeons, that the administration of chlo roform is the merest trifle, I thought of the 200 cases of deaths recorded, so like this one. To the delight of operator and all around, a deep .sighing inspiration, and then to our utmost relief another was noticed at each break of tho circle; no pulse, however, was yet pereptible, cardiac action,watched with intense eagerness ; minutes on minutes passed, which felt as long as hours; the sighs lessened; there was a moan, at the pain 01 the electricity or pin stuck into the diaphragm (the writer's scarf pin, as no other at the moment was available), this is mentioned to show the quickness with which these cases must be saved, or left to die; there was soon a flicker of pulse perceptible, but not till the patient was carried back to bed was the pulse entirely re-established, and not till the end of two hours was the electricity discontinued. The poor woman had a faint recollection of a drea m of a journey to a far distant land, by rivers, gardens, and golden sunsets. I have known such a patient, a class man from Oxford, to feel he was 10 years in paradise, sitting, and walking, and conversing in an ecstasy, with Homer and Virgil, while my unclassic friend, a dentist, near Hanover-square, was only ten minutes sluicing him with cold water to bring him round, but such is consciousness of which Coleridge spoke and Shelley dreamed, and Bichat is all wonderful, and Locke is so convincing. Such is an instance of all but fatal apnea (and we have collected four other quite as re markable cases). Such is consciousness, which we can at any moment remove, but which I am quite certain we never before had such effectual means of restoring when to all ap pearance irretrievably lost, as now by our more correct rationale of the cause of death, whether in cases of drown ing, or chloroform.—Dr. Kidd on Chloroform.

PERILOUS BALLOON ADVENTURE. —On Sunday, the balloon 'Washington ascended horn Plaza Victoria. The wind changed, and Mr Wells determined to take, if possible, a west current, which would bring him to this side of the Plate. The baboon gradually descended till the anchors touched the water, being then some 15 miles from the Belgrano shore. As the balloon began to drag along the water, Mr Wells threw out ballast, and again rose, attain ing a height of 4,000 yards in the direction of the Caraps chay islands. About 4 p.m., the hour being near sunset, the balloon became more condensed, and descended more rapidly than at first, until the anchors again touched the water, but the aeronaut's efforts to got a permanent hold were as fruitless as before. Accordingly he again threw out ballast and rose about 3,000 yards, in the direction of San Fer nando. Coming down a fourth time, still over the centre of the River Plate, he cut away his anchors, and struggled between the lower air current towards San Fernando, and the upper one towards the islands. The sun had now set, and, coming down a fifth time, he was obliged to cut away the car, in order further to lighten the balloon, and in another flight reach terrafirma. Then taking his seat on the hoop attached to the ropes, and pitting on two life belts, besides attaching the gar bag b y a line of 100 feet, so as to serve for a buoy in case of need, ho ascended a sixth time, and higher than before, passing through the clouds, and reaching about 6,000 yards, Here tba sun seemed to him again to rise, and after a short interval set in the most extraordinary splendour. The cold was so excessive that his feet became quite numb, and the ends of the ropes, which had dra gg ed in the water, gered w ith an icy covering. The hea v y dew, and great con densation of gas from excessive cold, caused the balloon to descend rapidly. On touching the water he contr to shift his position from the hoop to the gas bag. and the b a lloon draggingfor some time, M r Welts was up to his waist in water, whilst he rapidly proceeded towards cur coast. Soon, however, the warm atmosphere caused the balloon again to rise, this time about 100 yards. Mr Wells was now in a most critica l position, holding on, seated on the gas bag, which hung on a slender cord from the balloon. The gas b a g began to revolve rapidly, but luckily his head did not grow dizzy, a nd the cord did not break, th oug h twisting in a n alarming manner. The balloon gra dually lost its power, and again descended, Mr W. being overjoyed to see, by the moolight, its shadow increasing on tae water. He was then dragged as before along the surface of the water at the rate of eight or ten miles an hour; and after an exciting ride (which he compares to neigh -driving on the snow) of about 9) minutes, reached the s hore.

'to his SoldieiA The following spiril sd and Lc peful address v a , issued by General Fon ef,a.t tho ,nidiers under his command:— Headquarter s Furrest'g iavalry, Tupelo, Miss issippi, June Soldiers,—After a long and labosiou3 campaign the Major-General commanding deems it an al; sropeiate occa sion to address you a few' words of recapitulation, ackrrow ledgment, and congratulation. About the 16'h February last the campaign which so ingloriously toranirusted at Tisheningo Creek was inaugurated. Major-General Sher man, with a large and well appointed army, u ndertook to penetrate the central counties of Alabama and Mississippi. His object was avowedly to capture Selma and ifobile, and., desolate that productive region of country, from which th a granaries of a large section of the Conederacy were sir e a e te m, and plied. Gene ra l s S mith and Grierson h a d t h eir duty and mere i piracy y a . c t With i c t o h n sop large icuou s part co-operating work saign of d spoliation cavalry ewe n f i o ta r h c r e ht , thoroughly them. rnu g. h Nonortthh eeayrr Northern Mississippi, se a s, n i s d like s i ppaiequipped,,b carryingiblighting ht they n s fire were oscood. t s o w d or e d s At West Point you met them. T here you threw yourselve's across the rich prairies, a livin g b ulwark to stay the deso lating tide. Compared with the enemy you work bat. few in numbers, but every man became a hero, for all t earned impressed with the importance of the mo mentous sty uggle. You proved yourselves equal to the exp ec t ations of the country. You met the proud and exultant enemy., The result is known to the world ; you drove him h ow li r,g back in ignominy and shame, broken and demorali se d. Sher man's campaign was thus brought to an abrupt conclusion, and Mississippi and Alabama were saved. The vi ctory was a glorious one, and with heartfelt pride the general commanding acknowledged your unexampled gallantry. This great work was accomplished by Colonel Bell's brigade, commanded by Colonel Barteau, Colonel M'Cul loch's and Colonel Forrest's brigades. But great as was this victory, it was not without alloy. The laurel is closely entwined with the cypress, and the lustre of a bril liant triumph is darkened by the blood with which it is pur chased. It was here that Col. Barksdale gave up his life, a willing sacrifice upon the altar of his country. He fell in front of the battle, gallantly discharging his duty. He sleeps, but his name is imperishable. Here, too, fell the noble brother of the general commanding—Colonel Jeffrey B. Forrest. He was a brave and chivalrous spirit, ever foremost in the fight. He fell in the flower of his youth and usefulness. But his dying gaze was proudly turned upon the victorious field which his own valour had aided in w i n ning. Peace to the ashes of these gallant young heroes! General Grierson, not satisfied with this test of your prowess, united with General Sturgis, at the head of one of the best appointed forces ever . equipped at the Yankee nation—com plete in infantry, cavalry, artillery, and supply train. They came forth with threats of vengeance toward you and your commander for the bloody victory at Fort Pillow —made a massacre only by dastardly Yankee reporters. Again you responded bravely to your general's call. You met the enemy and defeated him. Victory was never more glorious, disaster never more crushing and signal. From a proud and defiant foe, en route to the heart of your country, with declarations, both by negro and white troops, of No quarter to Forrest and his men,' be became as enemy beaten, defeated, routed, dedioyed. You drove the boasted minions of despotism in confused flight from the battle field. 17 guns, 220 waggons, 3,000 stand of arms, 2,000 prisoners, and killed and wounded 2,000 more, are the proud trophies which adorn your triumphant banners. The re mainder are still wandering in the bushes and bottoms, for ever lost to the enemy. There were not over 3,000 of yon that achieved this victory over 10,000 cf tne enemy. Had you never before raised an army in your country's cause, this terrible overthrow of her brutal foe would entitle you to her deepest gratitude. Again, your general expresses his pride and admiration of your gallantry and wonderful achievements. You stand before the world an unconquer able band of heroes. Whether dismounted, and fighting shoulder to shoulder, like infantry veterans, or hurling your irresistible squadrons on the living foe, you evince the same courageous bravery. Soldiers I amid your rejoicings do not forget the gallant dead upon these Leith; of glory. Many a noble comrade has fallen a costly sacrifice to his country's independence. The most you can do is to cherish their memory, and strive to make the future as glorious as they have made the past. The smoke of your burning homesteads, the screams of your insulted women, and the cries of starving children will again nerve your strong arms with strength. Your fathers of 1766 had much to fight for, but how little and unimportant was their cause cempared with yours. They fought not against annihilation, but simply to be independent of a foreign, yet constitutional and free, government. You are struggling against the most odious of all tyranny—for existence itself, for your property, your homes, your wives and children—against your own enslavement, against emancipation, confiscation, and subjugation, with all their attendant horrors. In con clusion, your commanding general congratulates you on the brilliant prospects which everywhere pervade our cause. The independence of the Confederate States is a fixed, ac complished, immutable fact. The ray cf peace is glimmer ing like bright sunshine round the dark clouds. Be true to yourselves and your country a little while longer, and you will soon be enabled to return to your desolated houses, there to collect together once more your shattered house hold gods, By order of Major-General N.

RECENT ADDITIONS TO THE NATIONAL POR TRAIT GALLERY.—A picture of no ordinary interest has just been secured by the directors of the National Portrait Gallery. It is the portrait of S. T. Coleridge, painted by the American artist, Washington Allston, considered by Wandsworth and other friends of the poet the most satisfacrory likeness that ever was painted of him. An engraving was executed from this picture by Mr Samuel Cousins a few years ago. Tho portrait was painted at Bristol in 181 A, for Mr Joshua Wade, when Coleridge was in the 42d year of his age. The artist's own testimony, given in a letter to Prof. Henry Reed, of Phila delphia, is deserving of consideration. He says, "So far as I can judge of my own p roduction, the likeness is a true one, but it is Coleridge in repose, and, ehough no. unstirred by the perpetual ground -swell of his ever-working j u t e '. lect, and shadowing fo rth something of the deep philoso pher, it is not the Coleridge in his highest mood, the poetio state. When in that state, no face I ever saw was lik e t o his ; it seemed al most spirit made visible, without a shadow of the visible upon it. Could I have then fixed it on canvas! But it wss beyond the reach of my art." WashingtonAllston died jime 9, 1843, and was buried by torchlight in the cemetery of Mount Auburn, Boston. A good impression of the portrait of Shakspere, by Martin Droeshout, from the title-page of the Folio Editi on o f 1623, h as a l so b een a dded to the national collection. It undoubtedly stands foremost among the known portraits of the bard ; and the copy thus recently secured possesses some additional interest in being the prototype from which sevorat effective photo graphic copies were taken, both on the scale of the original, and in the reduced form as seen in Mr Lionel Booth's re print of the first folio edition. The sum of twenty guineas was paid for it.-24thenattns. THE LANGUAGE OF COLOURS.—T he phalansterian school, Fourier's disciples, are the most precise end positive in their opinions. They hold that violet is analo.. gous to friendship, blue to love, as suggested by blue eyes and the azure sky. A bunch of violets woul d, therefore, tell a lady's suitor that friendship is all ho has a right is expect. Yellow is paternity or matern it y ; it is the ' yellow ray of the spectrum which causes the g erm to shoot. Red figures ambition (vide the plan et Mars); the spirit of rivalry; green, the love of change, fickleness, but also work ; orange, enthu siasm ; white, urdty, uni versality ; black, favouritism, the influence exerted by an individual. Certain persons have the gift of fascinating all who approach them ; and black, which absorbs all the rays of the spectrum, is the reverse of white, which com bines them in one. Besides the seven primitive colours, grey indicates poverty; brown, prudery; pink, modesty; silver-grey (semi -white), feeble love ; lilac (semi-violet), feeble friendship ; palm pink, false shame, &e.—Dickees "Ale the Year Round." ^ of tfj6.s
